Severe Weather

One Two Punch of Heavy Showers

Published On: Oct 05 2013 10:57:26 AM CDT

Well, that was a rather wild start to the weekend. We got our fair share of heavy rain, wind, and lightning to kick off our Saturday across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley. Most of that batch has already moved off to the east, but we've got another wave moving through later this afternoon and this evening which may provide some more heavy rain showers. Now these aren't severe storms, just big rainmakers.

The other half of this story is the big cool down we're seeing in the wake of the front that moved through this morning with all that heavy rain. Get this...the warmest we’ll be all day is from this morning. It's pretty much all downhill from here as we slip into the mid to upper 50s this afternoon across the region and slip in the low 40s overnight. Yikes! So it might be wise to grab a jacket before you go out for a night on the town.

Now all is not lost for your weekend plans! Sunday is looking rather sunny, though our daytime highs may not reflect that. By Sunday afternoon, we'll only be in the mid to upper 60s for Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, respectively. Fair weather will also stick around into early next week with highs inching back up into the low to mid 70s.

So in a nutshell, put up with the "crummy" weather we've been dealt for Saturday and look forward to more pleasant weather to come.

Make it a GREAT day, everyone!
